| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer @wsrrsw I worked with Mike on a commercial he was producing and played on. Sometime in the late 1980s. Talented guy. | |
| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer @thriftyaudio I know Innuos is coming out with the Stream 1 and 3. They're modular, you can configure it the way you want, and reconfigure with different modules as your needs change. I considered waiting and checking it out but I got a good dea... | |
| Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer It’s totally worth it for the SQ but I’m quickly discovering all the convenient BluOs features I’m losing. I had several presets that were mapped onto a spare IR remote I had. I could launch playlists or radio with a click. I could also play/pause... | |
| ATC SCM150 Amp and Preamp recommendations A Bryston 4B3 or the higher end 14B3 are both a good match. That’s what my ATC dealer recommends. The 4B3 is only about 45lbs if size and weight are a consideration. | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? Thanks for all the input. I decided to get an Innuos Pulse to replace my Node 2i. That way I can use the USB input in the BitFrost and evaluate how that sounds. | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? @buellrider97 When the 4311s were the most popular studio monitors, they almost always had a 1/3 octave equalizer in the chain. I expect the 4312s were the same. You might consider trying one. It can be fun to dial in your sound if nothing else. | |
| Is this a meaningful upgrade? @buellrider97 The 4311As are really the only model I really love. I like the JBL sound in general but these have some unique features. Even so, I'm using a graphic equalizer to tame some peaks. I haven't heard any others with the micro dynamics ... | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area I just experienced exactly that. My speakers are 12" 3 way. I've been looking for a smaller speaker that can best them, and have come up empty. Most recently, I auditioned a pair of ATC SCM20P. Having heard the 50s and being told that all ATC sp... | |
| Anyone have experience with the new ATC active bookshelf speakers? I recently auditioned a pair of ATC SCM20 but the passive version paired with a Bryston 3B3. I really liked them but not as much as what I have so I returned them. The were very well balanced with great dispersion and a big soundstage for their s... | |
| Room treatment can be addictive After I put up my first configuration of treatments (absorption and diffusion) I would run my RTA with Pink noise and walk around the room. As I heard the sound change, I would point the microphone in various directions to see which frequencies we... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster I would create a 3ft triangle listening space and really listen to what's coming out of the speakers. Play at a low volume and just focus on the level of detail and dynamics. This should minimize the room effects so you can determine whether the s... | |
| No preamp in system I agree with @ghdprentice that live music should be your benchmark. Acoustic instruments and voices are the touchstone. I don't really compare components to each other but rather listen for how "real" it sounds in my system. A lot of gear can soun... | |
| New buy, no return policy I'm not surprised the dealer relented, too bad for him being too late. I've had similar conversations with dealers over "special orders" and my response is always the same. No 30 day demo, no sale. Most relented and some got a sale. I'm willing t... | |
| Room treatment can be addictive For me, the addiction comes from hearing the improvement that something makes and wanting to go further in that direction. I've spent three years on room treatments and still have further to go. Like equipment, it takes time to evaluate and increm... |
